Merry Christmas Eve!
What are your traditions for Christmas Eve? I don't remember as kids having any special traditions. I do remember Bro. Boz - a man from our church - would sometimes drop by on Christmas Eve and bring gifts/food items for our family. A sweet memory.
Since having kids, I have tried to have some special memories for our family that our kids will remember as adults. Here they are.
We have always let the kids choose a gift to open on Christmas Eve. Then we began the tradition of giving new pajamas on Christmas Eve and they have really liked this. :)
I try to plan a special dinner for Christmas Eve as well. I think special memories, many of them, center around food. So I want our Christmas Eve dinners to be part of the special memory.
In the early days of our family, we didn't attend a Christmas Eve service. But now we find a Christmas Eve service to attend and it has become a special time as well.
We always watch "It's A Wonderful Life" on Christmas Eve. It is a favorite of ours and a perfect movie for Christmas Eve.
I hope you have some special traditions today as well on Christmas Eve!
